john turturro playing howard cosell

Am I the only one frightened by the prospect of John Turturro playing Howard Cosell? When a classic overactor plays, well, a classic overactor, isn’t there some sort of black-hole-creating infinite loop?
From the link above, winner of the Golden Globe for Most Overheated Rhetoric In Promotion of a Television Movie (Cable): “The chemistry between Howard Cosell, Don Meredith and Frank Gifford was a key ingredient, as they brought even the most lackluster football game to life. They were the voice of a generation of journalists who were not afraid to ‘tell it like it is’” (italics and smirking mine).
